We performed a comparison between DX Unified Infrastructure Management and ScienceLogic based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The benefit is easy installation. Thus, the model approach of the product and out-of-the-box probes, which deliver direct value."
"Latest version of tool comes integrated with Jaspersoft reporting solution, giving excellent reports."
"Monitors the infrastructure asset and also monitors as an IT service."
"It is easy to implement."
"One of the things that I like about DX Infrastructure is that the topology is good enough to see what is happening in the infrastructure. You also get alerts if something is happening in the network. There are many features and benefits. It is serving our customers in knowing exactly how their network is performing in terms of reliability. It also helps them in planning the capacity. They know how much bandwidth the branches are consuming."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"The number of probes available. Out of the box, I believe about 200 probes are available. And, if there's a probe that is not available, you can write one. You can also go to the communities and suggest, and based on demand, CA will write one for you."
"It's easy to push out across numerous servers. Very scalable."
"The power flow is great."
"It is simple."
"Science Logic provides distributed and all-in-one concept in monitoring, you can easily customize the features in this product."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"The flexibility to support most technologies. The way ScienceLogic gathers data from multiple sources is vital to our customers. As we work with new customers (often with different technology requirements), ScienceLogic is flexible enough to support our clients’ varying network needs."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
"It is very easy to configure because we are using an agent-less version. You can very quickly implement a collector for monitoring device servers."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We had to do some work to make what was more of a business class solution work at an enterprise level."
"We've had issues with pulling reports."
"Reporting capability can be improved especially when it comes to availability."
"The other element is that there are no real templates, out of the box. Let's go with an example where we do have the probe, which is great, and we do have a really nuanced customer with a small set of devices that maybe not a lot of other customers use. There might not be a template in place, so effectively we have the tool in front of us but we still need to develop a solution. So it would be really nice to see a little bit more of something like a central repository of templates that we could use. That would help us expedite our onboarding process."
"I would like to see auditability. We've built our own audit functionality to ensure that every CI has the desired model configuration applied to it. And we run that on a daily basis. If that became part of the product, I think it might be a little bit less intensive in terms of resource, because we're doing it with scripts."
"DX UIM's reporting and customization need to be improved."
"It is a little complex to use versus other softwares."
"There should be wider coverage of storage infrastructure."
"The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"They should improve database issues in HA and Failover mode, and provide documentation for all users , even if they are not customers."
"ScienceLogic does not have application monitoring. We definitely need something integrated within ScienceLogic to monitor applications so that we don't have to rely on monitoring tools to monitor other applications. At least the ones that are market leaders, such as SAP, Oracle, and others."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"They should add CLI command modes and scripts for high performance."
"It doesn't have the complete application-level topology. It could have service topology and business service monitoring. I would like to see how business service monitoring will function with agent-based installation, and how flexible and business-oriented it is for service modeling and service infrastructure. I have a lot of experience in using business service monitoring, service topology, and service hierarchy functionalities in similar products from BMC and Micro Focus (OpenView), and I want to see how these functionalities will look like in ScienceLogic."
